Fig 1 The surgical method used in the Rastelli cohort (A) Right ventricle incision is placed away from epicardial vessels and retraction sutures are placed to provide exposure to the ventricular septal defect (VSD) and tricuspid valve apparatus. (B) The VSD is routinely enlarged by excision of a wedge of the septal tissue anterosuperiorly using an 11 blade. In addition, excision of a large portion of infundibular septum beneath the aortic valve is usually done. (C) A cylindrical patch is used to construct the baffle with running sutures to the right ventricular tissue. (D) The patch should be redundant to provide an unobstructed baffle between the left ventricle and aorta. (E) Right ventricle outflow reconstruction is completed with a homograft valved conduit.
